Award-winning new seating designs head up the latest portfolio of furniture for healthcare environments from Knightsbridge Furniture.
From the entries to its 2013 Design Competition – established to encourage development of furniture ‘for design-led hospital interiors’ – Knightsbridge selected two seating concepts from London-based design consultants, Webb Associates. Cubitt (pictured) and Columba have now been taken to full production at Knightsbridge’s Bradford manufacturing base, and are the ‘flagship ranges’ in the company’s Healthcare Collection.
Knightsbridge said: “Cubitt provides a modern yet supportive option for ward seating, with high-back, mid-back, and club variants featuring the same distinctive ‘wrap-around’ effect. A more traditional elegance is displayed by the Columba armchairs, where options include high-back and mid-back chairs, and a low-back visitor chair. Both Cubitt and Columba provide excellent lumbar support, and sturdy arms to aid rising. Hygiene gaps between seat and back prevent bacteria and debris accumulating, and frames are finished with an antimicrobial lacquer.”
